Christmas Flashes...
The order forms for the purchase of tickets to the Nashville performancesof "A Tennessee Christmas" are sent directly from the Nashville Symphonyoffice. I was told yesterday that the forms went in the mail "last week".My name is on that mailing as well and I am keeping an eye on my mailbox,also. To date, I have not received the form.
You can purchase your tickets by mailorder using the form. Please bewatching for it and be ready to send it back IMMEDIATELY. The deadline forreturning orders as printed on the form is "September 23".
FRIENDS OF AMY has done a mailing for the advance purchase coupons that canbe used by subscribers to purchase tickets in advance in the tour cities.We are sending out the last of those that we received prior to ourSeptember 15 cutoff.
Please be aware that some of the onsale dates in the cities are changing. Ihave not received a listing of those, so do call ahead to the venue ticketoffice before you make a trip (with or without a coupon!).
The onsale dates that I have been given are:
Show dates November 21 - December 1 = onsale October 4
Show dates December 5 - December 21 = onsale October 11

Being able to offer advance ticket purchases on a tour and getting specialrates for hotels in the cities are all FIRSTS for Friends of Amy. I ampleased to be able to offer this to you and hope that these services willbe of help! Your feedback is much appreciated. If the response is good, I'msure you will help set a precedent for more such offers in the future!
As I have mentioned, the advance ticket purchase opportunities as well aseligibility for our Christmas "meet 'n greet" in Nashville are exclusivelyreserved for subscribers of the FOA newsletter and fan serviceorganization. The cost for this is $10/year US, $12/year Canada and$15/year all other foreign addresses.
